A&P by Updike

I can see in this being a "feminist protest" as the author John Updike describes because, the three girls decided to wear their swim suits into a grocery store and the manager was not happy with their decision on doing so. They had a little argument with the manager and tried to tell them they were dressed decent but, the manager would still differ his point to them. In my eyes i can understand how the author can say its a "feminist protest".
Sammy was the store employee who decided to quit after he thought his boss was rude to some female customers. A few of the reasons why he quit were: he wanted to go after the girls that his boss made blush, he disagreed with his boss, he wanted to impress the girls for standing up for them, and he disliked his job. He realizes his job suck and he wants to move on when the females were in a hurry and he wanted to help them. This story is a little dull to my taste but, i guess other people may disagree.
